Playing an active role

Working with a commitment

WWF - Pakistan continues to be one of the fastest growing organisations in the global WWF Network in terms of the annual expenditure on conservation. The concern remains, however, that about 85% of the finances come from large international donor agencies. The organisation needs to develop a long term strategy to increase the share of income from the public, private and government sectors from within the country.

The main achievement of the year was the launch of the programme for the Indus Ecoregion which is explained in detail in this document.

The WWF - Pakistan Board plans to steer the organisation into a more active public role in the future. Rapid growth of our economy and population will undoubtedly create immense pressure on the limited natural resources of our country, thus WWF - Pakistan will need to mobilise support from civil society to revise certain illplanned initiatives such as proposed housing schemes near Margalla Hills National Park, New Murree Scheme and Karachi New Island City Project. Also we need to focus on immediate problems of pollution and toxics in our country. WWF - Pakistan will soon start a model project near its head office at Lahore titled "Greener Lahore - Cleaner Lahore" based on environmental pollution, solid waste and plastic bags disposal. The project will be designed to ensure public participation especially that of children. This should serve as an example for other urban areas.

Iqbal Ahmed Qarshi President WWF - Pakistan

An exciting development this year was the strengthening of the marine conservation programme. Surveys of marine cetaceans, corals near Astola island and satellite tracking of marine turtles have yielded interesting and encouraging information. WWF - Pakistan is drafting its next 5-year Strategic Plan in consultation with partner organisations in order to identify areas of future priority for the organisation.

Introduction Since its inception in 1960, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has been working towards the conservation of natural resources of the world. With its global Secretariat in Switzerland, WWF International provides a collective voice for matters affecting the natural environment of the world and coordinates activities of the global WWF family.

1) Conserving the world's biological diversity and mitigating the degradation of the earth's natural resources while building a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. 2) Involving communities in natural resource management and raising awareness among people to inculcate stewardship for these resources. 3) Initiating target-driven programmes, while remaining politically WWF - Pakistan, established in 1971, strives to carry out the global non-partisan. conservation initiatives within the context of national priorities.

The year in focus Indus For All The G-200 is a global initiative undertaken by WWF international together with other organisations to identify and reflect the ecological significance of the Earth's biodiversity. The Indus Ecoregion is among forty priority ecoregions of the world. The Indus River is one of the longest rivers in the world, stretching 3,199 km from its source in south-western Tibet to the delta in southern Sindh, Pakistan. Children at Chotiari Reservoir, Sindh / WWF -Pakistan

WWF - Pakistan has helped develop a 50 year Vision for the Indus Ecoregion, in consultation with relevant stakeholders with the aim of establishing a joint action programme. The Vision for the Indus Ecoregion is 'mankind coexisting with nature, in complete harmony, a network of interlinked wetlands where dolphins and otters thrive in their river habitats and raptors and waterfowl inhabit lakes and lagoons. Aquatic flora and associated biodiversity flourish on the banks and mouth of the River Indus and the newly hatched marine turtles safely return to the sea.'

was also instrumental in the development process of the Vision. The objectives of the Indus For All programme are: 1) Community-based Natural Resource Management in four priority areas (Keti Bunder, Kinjhar, Pai forest and Chotiari) contributes to improved livelihoods 2) Improved natural resources and livelihoods through mainstreaming of poverty-envi ronment linkages at policy, planning and decision-making levels. 3) Improved institutional capacity and awareness for sustainable environmental manage ment at various levels. 4) Improved alignment and collaboration for stakeholder interventions.

Pakistan Wetlands Programme The Pakistan Wetlands Programme aims to promote the conservation of freshwater, wetlands and the associated globally important biodiversity. The strategy of the Ministry of Environment's $11.8 million Programme is based on two sub-sets of objectives. The first addresses issues at the national level and the other deals with the management of four selected wetlands complexes - Makran Coastal Wetlands Complex, Central Indus Wetlands Complex, Salt Range Wetlands Complex and North-west Alpine Wetlands Complex - each carefully chosen to broadly represent conditions in each of the four wetlands ecoregions in the country. Initial field surveys of some priority areas have brought exciting and promising results. This includes the presence of over 20 species of coral near Astola island and over 50 species of fish in the Taunsa Wildlife Sanctuary on the Indus River.

October Earthquake The Indus For All programme has been formulated by WWF - Pakistan to implement the first five years of the fifty year Vision of the Indus Ecoregion Programme. Initial financial support for this Programme has been provided by the Royal Netherlands Embassy, which

Valley. WWF established collaboration with organisations such as UN-Habitat, World Food Programme and Islamic Relief to assist in evacuation of the injured and provision of shelter and food. WWF-Pakistan continues its engagement with the Earthquake Relief and Rehabilitation Agency (ERRA).

Leopards in Galliat In August 2005, there were a number of unfortunate incidents in which Common leopards in the vicinity of the Ayubia National park attacked and killed six local village women. This was the first incident of its kind recorded in the area. Two suspected leopards were killed and one captured in an attempt to remove the leopards causing this destruction. Another Common leopard was killed on May 29, 2006 in Machiara National Park, Muzaffarabad. WWF - Pakistan is working with local communities and the NWFP Wildlife Department to try and find a solution to the human and leopard conflict in the Galliat. The local communities have agreed to establish a 'livestock insurance scheme' whereby villages are compensated for livestock killed by leopard attacks.

Lahore Bachao committee A number of citizens' organisations (including WWF-Pakistan) and individuals started a campaign to stop the city government from cutting down thousands of trees along the canal in Lahore for widening the road from Dharampura to Thokar Niaz Baig. The Lahore Conservation Society coordinated the formation of the Lahore Bachao Committee to interact with the government, raise awareness and push forward long-term alternatives to address the traffic problem of the city.

WWF- Pakistan welcomed the suo-moto action of the Supreme Court on the environmental impacts of the proposed New Murree Development Project. WWF - Pakistan and a number of concerned civil society members had raised their concern about the adverse effect of the Project on the environment. The proposed area for the project is a protected forest in Murree. WWF-Pakistan has completed an ecological assessment study to record the present ecological significance of the area. The study reveals that the site of the proposed development work is the only remaining area of Blue Pine forest in Punjab.

Snow Leopard cub rescued WWF - Pakistan rescued a six weeks old Snow Leopard cub from Naltar valley. A local had removed two cubs from the wild and unfortunately one of them died. WWF- Pakistan staff brought the surviving cub to Gilgit for a thorough veterinary check up. The U.S. government has offered to temporarily take this animal to the U.S. while a proper rescue and rehabilitatioin facility is developed in Pakistan.

Programmes of Conservation The WWF global network carries out conservation work under six global priority areas. These are Forests, Freshwater, Marine, Toxics, Species and Climate Change. Details of projects undertaken in accordance with these Programmes in this year by WWF - Pakistan are as follows.

Forests

Taunsa Wildlife Sanctuary, Punjab, WWF - Pakistan / Ghulam Rasool Mughal

Providing scenic beauty and forming an integral part of our ecosystem, forests unfortunately are depleting at an alarming rate worldwide and Pakistan is no exception. Deforestation is on the rise in our country and forests cover less than 5% of the total land area. There are many factors contributing to deforestation. WWF - Pakistan, under its Forest Programme, has initiated different projects to conserve selected priority forests and promote sustainable use of forests in Pakistan.

Sustainable Livelihoods Project (Mangroves Ecosystem)

Mountain Areas Conservancy Project (MACP)

Protected Areas Management Project (PAMP)

With the support of the European Commission and WWF - UK, WWF - Pakistan is implementing a project entitled 'Tackling Poverty in Pakistan's Coastal Communities through Sustainable Livelihoods' since March, 2003. Activities have been undertaken for improving the living conditions of four fishing communities of Sonmiani, Kalmat Khor, Sandspit and Keti Bunder. Threats to the mangroves in these areas are also being addressed. Some 9,000 nursery-raised mangrove saplings at Sonmiani and 4,600 saplings at Keti Bunder were transplanted. These saplings were replanted in degraded areas with the involvement of the local Community-Based Organisations (CBOs).

The GEF/UNDP and GoP sponsored Mountain Area Conservancy Project (MACP) is a community-based biodiversity conservation programme with emphasis on empowerment of local communities through education, motivation, participation, demonstration and legislation to promote conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in the Hindukush mountain areas of Pakistan. The project has been implemented by IUCN The World Conservation Union in partnership with the Northern Areas and North West Frontier Province (NWFP) administrations, WWF Pakistan, Agha Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP) and Himalayan Wildlife Foundation (HWF) at Trich Mir, Qashgar, Gojal and Nanga Parbat conservancies spreading over 16,365 km2 and benefiting over 250,000 people, since July, 2000.

Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and in collaboration with the Balochistan Forest Department, NWFP and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Wildlife Departments, this project aims to introduce sustainable park management with improvement in park operations, park habitat, wildlife survival and park infrastructure. WWF - Pakistan is providing technical assistance in Machiara and Chitral Gol National Parks.

Freshwater Programme

Water is an indispensable ingredient to sustain life. By 2025, it is estimated that Pakistan will require almost 100% of its utilisable water resources to feed an increasing population. Rural communities already face inadequate access to water, and freshwater ecosystems. These resources that so many livelihoods depend on are threatened by reduced water flow. Moreover, major sources of water all over the world are being contaminated by humans at an accelerating rate. Excessive growth in population and the dumping of industrial as well as municipal waste into freshwater channels causes pollution that harms both humans and acquatic life.

This will be achieved by developing and implementing appropriate 'on farm' Better Management Practices (BMPs) in sugarcane fields in Faisalabad and cotton fields in Bahawalpur. Business policies are being influenced by interacting with agencies such as the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA).

Wetland Centre 5 information kiosks were installed with the support of Unilever Pakistan at the Wetland Centre in Sandspit, Karachi. Each computer kiosk allows students and visitors to find out more about wetlands conservation in Pakistan using touch-screen menus. The Wetland Centre is also raising awareness amongst the public about wetlands in Pakistan by conducting training workshops on conservation issues of wetlands and developing and disseminating informative literature.

Hudiara Drain Project The Hudiara Drain is a trans-boundary drain that originates from India and ends at the River Ravi in Pakistan. A project entitled, 'Improving the water quality of Hudiara Drain' has been launched jointly by WWF - India and WWF - Pakistan with an aim to reduce water contamination of the Hudiara Drain. As part of Phase II pollution control alternatives are being developed for treatment of the worst pollutants. WWF - Pakistan plans to, for the first time in Pakistan, assist in developing surface water classifications and irrigation water quality guidelines to designate uses of various surface water bodies.

Promoting Cleaner Production in the Textile Sector

Pakistan Environmental Reporting Awards (PERA)

WWF - Pakistan and the Association for Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCAA project to promote cleaner production and Pakistan) jointly administer PERA. These enhanced environmental reporting in the tex- awards were initiated with the objective of tile processing sector of Pakistan was com- identifying and acknowledging efforts made pleted on May 31, 2006. The aim of the project by organisations in the corporate and public was to develop expertise on Better sectors to report on the environmental Environmental Management Practices impact of their activities. Awards are given (BEMPs) suitable for the textile processing out for three categories - Best Multinational sector in Pakistan. Successful cases in the Report, Best Local (listed) Company Report European Union and within the country were and Best Local (unlisted) Company Report. A identified and closely studied for this pur- commendation certificate for best first-time pose. The textile processing sector in reporting is also awarded. Pakistan is largely concentrated in three major cities: Lahore, Karachi and Faisalabad. Thus the project, targeted stakeholders in these three cities. Training workshops on BEMPs and environmental reporting were conducted in the three cities and a manual on BEMPs was prepared and distributed among stakeholders.

Species of Special Concern Pakistan is home to a number of endemic and endangered species. The long-term viability of these species depends on appropriate conservation interventions. Bearing this in mind, WWF - Pakistan has initiated different projects for conserving the country’s endangered species and protecting their habitat.

A five year project proposal for the conservation of the Indus Dolphin has been submitted to Engro Chemicals for financing.

Gyps Vulture WWF - Pakistan developed a Gyps Vulture Restoration Project and secured funding from the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi, UAE. The project team captured five nestlings as the founder population of Gyps bengalensis from the Taowala colony in Punjab. They are housed in a temporary facility at Changa Manga. This facility has been provided by the Punjab Wildlife and Parks Department and has been refurbished by the project. Co-financing from WWF US for the support in captive breeding and survey of the remaining population in the Punjab Province was obtained. WWF - Pakistan lobbied with government agencies for the banning of Diclofenac, the drug that has caused an unprecedented decline in the population of this species. The Chairperson of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Environment has given directives to ban the drug within six months.

Marine Small Cetaceans WWF - Pakistan developed a partnership with the London University Marine Biological Station (UMBS) Millport in Scotland and Centre of Excellence in Marine Biology (CEMB), University of Karachi for a three year project on Pakistan's endangered cetaceans, entitled the "Cetacean

Conservation Project". The first survey of small cetaceans was conducted in the Korangi - Phitti Creek System. Three species - Bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus), Indo-pacific Humpbacked Dolphin (Sousa plumbea) and Finless Porpoise (Neophocoena phocaenoides) have been reported in varying numbers and group sizes. This project also involves raising the awareness of fishermen and improving their cetacean identification skills.

Ecological baseline of the Taunsa Wildlife Sanctuary WWF - Pakistan conducted the baseline ecological study of the Taunsa Wildlife Sanctuary on the Indus. This was done as part of the Taunsa Barrage Rehabilitation and Modernisation Project. This study covered three seasons; fall, winter and summer. The baseline data included study of selected wildlife species including avifauna, small and large mammals inclusive of the Indus Dolphin, reptiles and amphibians, fish in the sanctuary and its buffer zones. GISbased habitat mapping was done and identified 117 plant species in the sanctuary. Moreover, under this project baseline conditions for ambient air quality and water quality for both surface and ground water were established.

Snow Leopard WWF - Pakistan, in collaboration with the International Snow Leopard Trust (ISLT), has initiated a Snow Leopard Project to save this flagship and endangered species. The

project introduced alternate livelihood measures for the local communities in exchange for reducing hunting of the Snow Leopard. The Swiss Government is providing additional technical and financial support to a project named 'Income generation for Snow Leopard Conservation'.

Training in animal husbandry, fodder preservation and enterprise development were conducted in Kuju and Parsan, the two model sites of the Snow Leopard Project. As part of creating alternative income generation opportunities, 600 napkins were prepared by locals in Kuju and sold in the US to make-up for the losses to their livestock by Snow Leopards. The Rufford Grants program has approved a project entitled "Community-based Snow Leopard Conservation through improved animal husbandry in Chitral".

Marine Turtles WWF - Pakistan's staff is monitoring the activities of marine turtles as part of a project on turtle conservation implemented by a CBO of Daran Village at Jiwani, Balochistan. On 5th June, 2006 WWF-Pakistan in collaboration with the Sindh Wildlife Department marked the World Environment Day as 'Day of the Turtles'. The year 2006 has been declared as the international 'Year of the Turtle' under the Indian Ocean and South East Asia (IOSEA) Memorandum of Understanding. Pakistan is a signatory of the MoU. The event was held a few days before the commencement of the turtle nesting season. Several activities such as, a poster competition, a theatre performance by the students of WWF-Pakistan Girls' Community School, Kaka Pir, Sandspit, a quiz competition, and a debate competition were conducted to raise awareness among the general public about the threats that marine turtles face. A beach cleaning activity was also organised in Daran Village. About 15 students of the Community School participated in the beach cleaning activity. In all, 9 bags of garbage were collected from about 1.5 km stretch of the beach.

Capacity-building We at WWF believe that conservation is an attitude. It is not solely dependent on strategic conservation projects rather it needs to be instilled at the grass roots level. We try to remind individuals to appreciate the environment they live in by building their capacity to do so. For this purpose, various training sessions for different sections of society were conducted over the last year.

Nature Study Camps WWF - Pakistan jointly with the Adventure Foundation of Pakistan (AFP) conducted three Nature Study Camps for Rawalpindi and Islamabad based schools at the Margallah Conservation and Information Centre during April and May 2006 to promote responsible environmental stewardships. More than 100 students participated in these camps.

Exposure Visit to Nepal WWF - Pakistan jointly with WWF-Nepal organised a six-day exposure visit for the Chief Conservator of forests from NWFP, AJK and NAs to the Terai Arc Landscape and the ICIMOD research and training centre Nepal from May 27 - June 4, 2006. The purpose of the visit was to help leading forest professionals of the country experience community based forest manage-

ment and to strengthen partnership for future implementation of the Forest Programme.

Women’s awareness workshops Four-day long awareness workshops were organised in Gudar, Sahoo, Begusht and Madak Lasht valleys of Chitral and Kalam for local women to improve their understanding of the role of women in biodiversity conservation, particularly in collection and storing of medicinal plants. Over 120 women attended the workshops. Each group of women developed a yearly activity plan for their respective valley during the workshops.

Nature Carnivals WWF - Pakistan held a Nature Carnival in Faisalabad for the first time. It was attended by 2000 people. Carnivals held in Lahore and Karachi were attended by larger number of people. Among other activities these carnivals include an exhibition based on environmental themes by students of different schools.

Spellathon Over 100,000 students from 253 schools across the country have joined the Spellathon activity. More are expected to enter the competition in the future.

Scientific committee The Scientific Committee (SC) is the Small Grants Programme of WWF - Pakistan. The Committee is allocated an annual budget by the WWF - Pakistan Board from which grants are made in support of environmental research and field projects by individuals, research and academic institutions and conservation organisations. Annually, about Rs. 3 million are distributed under the SC for various projects. The Scientific Committee meets four times a year to allocate funds. Project executants present their final reports in these meetings that are discussed and evaluated. The SC also reviews the progress of ongoing projects. The chairman of the SC is a WWF - Pakistan Board Member. Other SC members include selected WWF - Pakistan staff and representatives from various government departments. It also makes concerted efforts to ensure that grant funds for research and fieldwork complement WWF - Pakistan's conservation priorities, as outlined in the organisation's Strategic Plan.
